Abstract: A noise prevention apparatus and a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus having the same are provided to such that a microphone unit records sound produced from outside the magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus in an optimum state. The noise prevention apparatus includes a noise damping part installed adjacent to at least one noise source that produces a noise when the image and sound signals are recorded and reproduced for damping and discharging the noise produced from the noise source. The noise damping part includes a noise collecting member for collecting the noise and a noise damping member for damping and discharging the noise collected by the noise collecting member to the outside. The noise produced from the noise source when the image and sound signals are recorded and reproduced is collected by the noise collecting member and then damped to a minimum size by the noise damping member, so that the microphone unit may record the sound in the optimum state.

Abstract: A magnetic recording and reading apparatus includes a noise preventing member provided to at least one of a deck and a holder to cover an upper side of a head drum. Noise generated by the contact between the head drum and the magnetic tape is substantially prevented from being transmitted outside of the magnetic recording and reading apparatus and to a microphone in recording operation, thereby improving the quality of recorded sound.

Abstract: A Virtual user interface apparatus, system, and method are provided, wherein the virtual user interface apparatus comprises a movement detection unit for detecting a movement degree of an actual hand, a bend detection and restriction unit for detecting a bend degree of a finger of the actual hand and restricting the bend of the finger when a control signal is received from a host device, and an external interface unit for transferring the detected movement degree and the bend degree to the host device, and receiving and transferring the control signal, which is generated by the host device by use of the movement degree, the bend degree, and information on a certain 3-dimensional shape, to the bend detection and restriction unit Accordingly, the grip of a product can be virtually examined without having to make a mock-up of the product.

Abstract: A battery locking apparatus to conveniently and easily separate a battery from an image photographing apparatus with one hand. The battery locking apparatus locks and releases a battery that is detachably mounted to the image photographing apparatus by a sliding operation of a sliding button. The releasing directions of the sliding button and the battery are opposite to each other.

Abstract: A pop-up flash for a photographing apparatus is provided. The pop-up flash includes a flash body to emit an illuminating light. The flash body is movable between a retracted position and a raised position. The pop-up flash further includes a locking lever having a locking boss which engages an engaging member formed at one of the flash body and a body of the photographing apparatus. Thus, when the flash body is positioned at the retracted position, and installed to the other of the flash body and the body of the photographing apparatus, the flash body may pivotally move between a first position at which the locking boss is engaged to the flash body and a second position at which the locking boss is released from the flash body. Furthermore, a resilient member urges the flash body in a pop-up direction. A locking member is provided to lock the locking lever when the flash body is positioned at the retracted position and to release the locking lever when the flash body is positioned at the raised position.

Abstract: A folder type image photographing apparatus including a main body at which a recording medium is mounted, a display panel disposed at the main body to display a photographed image, and a camera unit coaxially disposed with respect to the display panel. The camera unit can rotate with the display panel, with the camera unit folded onto the display panel, or the camera unit can rotate independently from the display panel, providing a greater degree of control and operation selection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for adaptive menu design and items presentation reflecting cognitive characteristics. More particularly, the present invention relates to a technique to provide menu items reflecting human cognitive characteristics so as to apply for computer OS, the Internet browsers, and personal data assistants (PDAs) as well as computer programs.

Abstract: Disclosed is an inductively coupled plasma processing apparatus which has a very-high-frequency parallel antenna producing inductively-coupled plasma for a large substrate. This plasma processing apparatus includes a very high frequency power source in order to generate the high dense plasma, and parallel-connected antenna units that receive the very high frequency power from the very high frequency source. The very high frequency power has a frequency of 20 MHz to 300 MHz. According to present invention, while the plasma density can be raised, the electron temperature can be lowered. Thus, when the dry etch process is conducted using CFx, the CFx/F ratio can be adjusted to have the low density of fluorine radical. And also, it is possible to have the high radical density of CF2, CF3 and the like. As a result, the proper radical ratio, which is relative to increase selection ratio, enhances the dry etch process excellently.
